If you're wondering what NMG is, it is the WelMac New Media Group.
New Media encompasses a lot of todays technologies, including the web and internet, publishing, communications, and generally geeky stuff like that. It's a place to discuss the information revolution with other artists, designers, writers and people interested in new media technologies.
This group sprung from the WelMac Publishing and Web Design groups, and briefly called itself Digital Media and Web Media before settling into being NMUG. Then it was realised the the Nelson Mac User Group was NMUG.. so we got with it.. and are now NMG - The WelMac New Media Group
NMG is supported by WelMac, who have arranged the use of the
excellent facilities at the TUANZ (e)-vision centre, with it's
multimedia and broadband internet facilities (which you can use at
NMUG)
The group is facilitated by me, Joseph Booth, (aka Mangee),
a WelMac committee member. If you have any questions or wish to attend
NMUG this month, drop me a line via the online contact form at http://web.welmac.org.nz/emailform?To=nmug or iChat: mangee@mac.com

If you need help right now - then browse over to the Forums and leave a message for the resident gurus.
